#Ukraine June 11, updates from @escortert. in two parts -> PdS1, Dniepr-Donetsk offensive -> PdS2, All non-offensive fronts & Backstage Here is the PdS1 for today 👇
4/n
In 7 days, the 🇷🇺 have ceded around 95 km2 in the axes of the Dniepr-Donetsk offensive:
20 km2 in and around Bakhmut
25 km2 in the #VelykaNovosilka axis
50 km2 on the #Orykhiv axis
+ 5 km2 on the rest of the front👇
5/n
28 days into the offensive, the ratio of material losses 🇷🇺/🇺🇦 has risen from 1.5 to 2.1 (it was 1.6 on June 4)👇
The focus on the destruction of the 🇺🇦 column south of #Orikhiv has obscured the fact that 🇷🇺 continue to lose a great deal of equipment too
7/n
What are the obstacles to 🇺🇦 progress?
(i) #Bakhmut northern salient,
The 🇷🇺 networks of trenches are taking time to be "cleared"👇 while 🇷🇺 have had time to build up their defenses.
8/n
(ii) #Bakhmut city,
#AFU will not seek attrition by penetrating the ruins of #Marioupol, but will rather wait for a retreat from 🇷🇺 the army, once its rear supply lines have been cut.
SW entrance to #Bakhmut 👇
9/n
(iii) southern salient of #Bakhmut,
The 🇷🇺 troops favorably positioned on the height of #Klischiivka block the advance of the #AFU south of #Bakhmut, but they nevertheless progress east of the canal 👇
10/n
sector 2/in the #VelykaNovosilka direction,
5 🇺🇦 brigades (the glorious 23rd and 31st Mechanized, 35th and 37th Marine and 68th Mountain)👇 lead the assault and converge on road T-0518 which follows the Mokri Yali riverbed
11/n
These assault brigades are supported by the 47th Artillery and the 128th Territorial, while the 3rd Armored Brigade is in reserve.
3 of them were formed less than 6 months ago, in 2023
12/n
🇷🇺 have ceded 57 km2 and control of 4 settlements:
#Novodarivka, #Blahodatne, #Storozheve and #Neskuchne have been liberated from the occupier's yoke
13/n
(I) in the #Pryiutne axis, 🇺🇦 advances towards #Rivnopil
(ii) in the central axis of #Starromlynivka, the 🇺🇦 advance is strongest
🇺🇦 take prisoners (here, towards #Storozheve 👇)
14/n
As for the 🇷🇺 soldiers who would prefer to retreat, they are shot down like dogs by the barrage units👇
15/n
(iii) in the #Novodonetske axis, it is not known whether or not it has been liberated👇 but progress south of the Shaytanka river is slower
(iii) in the #Novodonetske axis, it is not known whether or not it has been liberated👇 but progress south of the Shaytanka river is slower
16/n
The 🇷🇺 are counter-attacking south of #Makarivka👇 and have blown up a dam on the Mokri Yali river to slow down the 🇺🇦 troops (photo)
17/n
What is 🇺🇦 the objective?
Following the T-1508 road that follows the Mokri Yali riverbed, #Marioupol is 90 km👇 away.
18/n
The first fortifications built by the Russians are 15 km further south👇
20/n
The 🇺🇦 are trying to recover their strength in this sector after a difficult start.
In this direction, 🇺🇦 is looking to occupy starting "slots" probably for #Tokmak and #Melitopol👇
